{fluff & stuff} presents...ALIS IN WONDERLAND

nope, that's not a typo error. sweet little Alis turned one and her mum asked for an Alis in Wonderland theme. we'd done this theme before but with a more grown up approach so we were thrilled when we received this request ;)

the party took place a year ago but you know me...lots of delay in updating my blog posts! this year's resolution is to be more disciplined with my updates *keeping my fingers crossed here* 

anyhooooo, i forgot that i hadn't posted this yet and only just remembered cos it's that time of year again...ilaika's party! gosh...she's turning five soon. how time flies! now she has a mind of her own and a very strong will to go with it (!), she wanted to pick the theme for her party. her first choice was a swimming party (or rather a mermaid one) but i really think ilaika and her little friends are a tad bit young to be swimming on their own in the pool and i doubt our pool is large enough to accomodate all the kids and parents together!

so i showed her pics of alis' party and she's now excited to have (in her own words), "a flowers and alice and wonderland" theme!

i uploaded most of them to our facebook page but here are some of the pics i showed her. hope you're as easily impressed as my lil missy ;)

some of you may recognise the super cute designs of the flag bunting, toppers, tags etc. anis, alis' mum had them customised from lovely Kim of the tomkat studio ...aren't they just perfect? 

{fluff and stuff} presents : A YELLOW & GREY BABY SHOWER

as you know, we've been quiet for a long time and haven't taken up any orders for parties for over a year now. gosh...how time flies! 

when my cousin called me to ask for help to organise a surprise baby shower for his wife and sister who are both pregnant and due just a few weeks apart, the party girl in me just couldn't resist it! and unsurprisingly, mel felt the same way ;)

so we went ahead with the short time frame that we had to put together a small joint baby shower for the girls. as one is expecting a boy and the other a girl, we chose two neutral colours, yellow and grey, which turned out beautifully well. these pics were taken from my iphone...will upload better ones from the camera once i get them from mel.

notice the gorgeous food label above? it's a freebie courtesy of Cupcake Express and was just perfect for the look we wanted. 

oh and my most favourite item from all the things we put together was the nappy cake...made of just nappies, ribbons and a pompom, it looked so simple yet elegant. the best part of all was that it was so easy to put together and who needs a real cake anyways? the dessert spread was more than enough to feed our sweet cravings hehe.

i'm so glad i agreed to help organise this baby shower. firstly, the girls were so pleased and definitely surprised! and secondly, it made us both realise how much we love parties and how much we've really missed working on them! sigh...we really ought to sit down and brainstorm on how we should move forward with this ;p
